way to get FieldMetaData for transient field


Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to retrieve FieldMetaData for a
non-persistent field.  I know that the majority of the APIs in
ClassMetaData, such as getFields(),  only return persistent fields.  I
tried using getDeclaredUnmanagedFields().  That did not work and I am not
sure I grasp the intention of the method.

The curious thing is that there are isTransient()/setTransient() APIs on
FieldMetaData, which seems to imply there is some way to access these
fields.
